Pre and Post Operative Rehabilitation
How can Pre and Post Operative Rehabilitation help you?
Seeing you promptly before and after your surgery can speed up your recovery time when you have had surgery to a joint such as hip or knee replacement, ligament repair or meniscus repair.
Pain, stiffness and discomfort may be some of the symptoms you are experiencing when you visit us and your therapist will ask you a series of questions related to your problems, work and activities to help solve your current problem. A detailed physical examination will follow. Your therapist will explain and discuss with you your personal treatment plan. Treatment will start immediately and your first visit will take approximately one hour and subsequent visits 45 minutes.
Treatment is designed to reduce pain and swelling, increase mobility and is always accompanied with advice to prevent problems occurring again. Exercise therapy will often form part of the treatment plan and patients are encouraged to do home exercises.
A full range of treatments are available including manipulation, mobilisation, massage, electrical stimulation , ultrasound and laser and usually a course of exercises.
The Maher Sports and Wellness Centre, also uses state of the art Rehabilitative Ultrasound Imaging (RUSI) and Electromyography (EMG) as evaluation and rehabilitation tools to maximize your outcomes.
